12/1999 | Methods of Information in Medicine, SchattauerOBJECTIVES: The paper describes how an objective score (CCscore) of the completeness and currency of codified clinical information relevant to the management of diabetes mellitus may be derived for individual practices. METHODS: A questionnaire was developed and administered to 35 practices and statistical methods were used to test for correlation between the prevalence for diabetes mellitus and the relevant CCscores RESULTS: No significant correlation could be found. CONCLUSIONS: The quality of computer-stored information varies widely across English General practices for reasons that are incompletely understood...

01/2003 | Methods of Information in Medicine, SchattauerOBJECTIVES: GRID technology, with initiatives like the GGF, will have the potential to allow both competition and interoperability not only among applications and toolkits, but also among implementations of key services. The pyramid of eHealth interoperability should be achieved from standards in communication and data security, storage and processing, to the policy initiatives, including organizational protocols, financing procedures, and legal framework. The open challenges for GRID use in clinical fields illustrate the potential of the combination of grid technologies with medical routine into a wider interoperable framework. METHODS: The Telemedicine Alliance is a consortium (ESA, WHO and ITU), initiated in 2002, in building a vision for the provision of eHealth to European citizens by 2010...
